investment highlights
- STRONG DEMOGRAPHICS & PREMIER LOCATION // The property benefits from frontage on Gadsden Highway (U.S. Route 11) with 13,000+ vehicles per day. Additionally it’s positioned at the entrance to Stockton, one of Trussville’s premier newer communities and the average household income within three miles is nearly $160,000.
- HIGH BARRIERS TO ENTRY // Very limited commercially zoned land is available in Trussville. Furthermore stringent Design and Review Board requirements along with fire code standards that exceed the International Fire Code increase development difficulty and restrict future supply.
- EXTREMELY LIMITED COMPETITION // There’s only one competing facility within four miles and market supply at completion is estimated to be around 6.5 square feet per capita within three miles.
- CLASS-A NEW CONSTRUCTION FACILITY // The property will have 394 units and 60,250 square feet across 12 single-story buildings. Amenities will feature an attractive brick façade, climate-controlled and drive-up units, gated digital access, 24/7 surveillance, concrete drive aisles, and roll-up doors.
- ADDITIONAL OPTIONALITY FOR INVESTORS // Seller owns the commercial parcel across the street and plans a Boat/RV storage facility; willing to sell at CofO or provide a Right of First Refusal.
- EXPECTED RAPID LEASE-UP // Combination of strong demographics, low supply, and substantial barriers to entry supports a fast stabilization with minimal concessions.
- Q3 2026 DELIVERY // New construction asset positioned to capture demand immediately upon opening.
property summary
Keystone Self Storage is a 394-unit, 60,250 square foot self-storage facility under construction in Trussville, Alabama, an affluent northeast Birmingham suburb. Situated on approximately three acres, the project will consist of 12 single-story buildings featuring nearly 26,000 NRSF of climate-controlled units and more than 34,000 square feet of drive-up non-climate units. Upon completion, Keystone Self Storage CofO will offer an attractive brick façade and a full suite of Class-A amenities, including a gated entry with digital keypad access, 24/7 video surveillance, concrete drive aisles designed for comfortable turning radii, and roll-up unit doors.
The facility fronts Gadsden Highway (U.S. Route 11), which carries over 13,000 vehicles per day, and sits at the entrance to Stockton—one of Trussville’s premier newer master-planned communities. The surrounding trade area is exceptionally strong, with average household incomes approaching $160,000 within three miles. High barriers to entry and limited competition further enhance the opportunity: very few commercially zoned parcels remain in Trussville, only one competing facility exists within four miles, and market supply at completion will be approximately 6.5 square feet per capita within three miles. Additional development constraints—including Trussville Design and Review Board requirements for a brick façade and fire code standards exceeding the International Fire Code—reinforce the difficulty of new supply. The seller also owns the vacant commercial parcel across the street and plans a Boat/RV storage facility, which could be sold at CofO or offered with a Right of First Refusal.
A rapid lease-up with minimal concessions is anticipated due to the combination of strong demographics, limited existing supply, and substantial barriers to entry. Keystone Self Storage is scheduled for delivery in Q3 2026.
